Delivery Rider’s PAB Explodes To Ensure Customer Finally Receives "Piping Hot" Meal

A local delivery rider’s power-assisted bicycle (PAB) heroically self-immolated on Balestier Road yesterday, fulfilling its lifelong mission to provide a "premium thermal experience" for a $5.50 order of Hainanese chicken rice.

Witnesses reported that the bicycle, which had enough illegal modifications to bypass the Earth’s atmosphere, decided to spontaneously transition into a roadside BBQ pit near Jalan Datoh.

"Wah lau, the PAB just go 'BOOM' lor, I think the battery cannot tahan the rider's kiasu-ness already," said local bystander, Ah Seng.

"At first I thought is Balestier lighting shop having fire sale, but then I see the rider's pants smoking like one incense burner."

SCDF officers arrived to extinguish the "bespoke heating solution" after it successfully burnt through the rider’s food bag and any hope of a 5-star rating.

The rider was sent to SGH, presumably to explain to doctors how a lithium-ion battery can be modified to reach the temperature of the sun just to avoid a "late delivery" penalty.
